Fashion Designers

    A fashion designer create great new fashions for people (like my self) that are interested in it, they will bye it. They do clothing, accessories; such as purses, wallets, jewelry, eye wear, shoes, for men and women, and children. Fashion designers have to have a sense of stile. They all who are working as a fashion designer, worked really hard to get to this job. To be employed, you need a 2 or 4 year degree, and need to be really knowledgeable, as in, you need to know your fabrics, colors, stile of the clothing or accessory.

    Designers need to have a strong eye for detail of a (or more) colors, good balance of what they are doing, and they need a nice respect for beauty, they also need a good problem-solving skill; as if something were of gone wring, they will have a wonderful back up solution, they need to know a lot about their computer. Because they don’t only have to draw it, they have to plan it all out, like the colors and the way in needs to be attached together. They need to know the length of the outfit they are making. They need a good portfolio; an example of there best work they have done.

    Most fashion designers earn about $13, 440 and $93,000, in there first weeks. The middle earnings are $34,800, and $73,780, the highest earning is $103, 970 in just 3 months. The lowest is $24,930 for 2-3 months. If you are a manager or a really great employer, you will be able to get the highest earnings as possible. Like $103,970 in just 3 weeks. But you need to accomplish a lot of good work; as in you do things right, make good sketching and your item sells BIG time, you will earn even more. The more your products sell, the more money you can get.

    I think this job will be great for me, because of all of my great work that is all saved into my head, will now be able to be on to a piece of paper. Then after the sketching on the paper, it will be made by me or someone else that is working for me, and then it will be sent out all over the world, and people will be wearing what I made. Seeing people with things, that I know I made all by myself, makes me feel so good. I love fashion, I love to draw it out on a piece of paper, and if I’m angry at someone, or something, I love to draw things out to express my feelings and take all the anger out of my system.

    This jab also will not be great for me because it might take up all my free time, and I will not be able to see my friends and family. I love my family, and I do not like to be too far apart from them for a long time, but if I get a job like this I think they will always call me into the office to fix errors or just to work more. I will be in my office more then who I love. It may be what I will be beast at, but I need my family and friends in my life too. I mean fashion is mostly my life, but I love my family more.

    This job is great; it makes good money, great workers, with wonderful artist working there. But sometimes they expected you there all the time. I will love to work there, but maybe not if I have no free time after my hours. This job is really great for me, not only because I can draw, but because I can go eye to eye with my work and I need it to be perfect, maybe it will not be totally perfect, but I can make it happen for me, my manager, and others that by my things.

Career: Heart Surgeon

By: Anthony Harrison

7th Grade English

March 21, 2007

The reason I want to be a surgeon is because they serve a fundamental role in our society and they have an effect upon our lives. Surgeons are physicians who specialize in the treatment of injury, disease and deformity through operations, using a variety of instruments. When patients under go general or local anesthesia, a surgeon can correct physical deformities and perform preventive surgeries on patients with diseases or disorders. Surgeons diagnose illnesses, prescribe medication, and administer treatment for people suffering from injury or disease. Surgeons examine patients, obtain medical histories, and order, perform, and interpret diagnostic tests. Surgeons counsel patients on diet, hygiene, and preventive healthcare. Surgeons work in one or more of several specialties, such as: anesthesiology, family and general medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, psychiatry and surgery.

The training and education requirements for surgeons are among the most demanding of any occupation. In order for me to be a surgeon I have to obtain four years of undergraduate school, four years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. Some medical schools offer combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last six rather than the customary eight years. The minimum educational requirement for entry into medical school is three years of college. To enter into medical school requires a bachelor’s degree; you must submit transcripts, scores from the medical college admissions test, and letters of recommendation. For my first two years in medical school I would spend 2 years in laboratories, and classroom and taking course, such as: anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, pathology, medical ethics, and laws governing medicine.

A surgeon’s basic salary report starts at $270,502 and the median total compensation of a surgeon over one year is $282,504 and less than two years it is $228,839. Total compensation for a heart surgeon reflects on the amount reported as direct in come for tax purposes plus all voluntary salary deductions. A surgeons earnings will vary according to the number of years of practice, the geographic region, hours worked, skill level and personal reputation. Most surgeons work long irregular hours and can work sixty or more hours a week to get their salary higher. If a surgeon wants to have a high salary, they must have formal education and training as this is one of the most demanding occupations. Heart surgeons employed by medical groups and health maintenance organizations earn, on average, about $45,000 less, per year but enjoy fringe benefits such as paid vacations, retirement programs, profit sharing, and educational sabbaticals on half-pay, in addition to working shorter hours.

I wish to become a surgeon because I have the desire to help people. I am self-motivated and I believe I can survive the pressure and the long hours of medical school and practice. The negative aspects of this career is that when I’m working on a patient, they will ask me too leave and lets somebody take over and I can’t finish what I started, but if it was somebody who needed my help and was in grave danger of dying and needed help then I’d do it.

I think being a heart surgeon would be a good career for me because I am fascinated with the human heart and what makes the human heart beat. Another reason for me to be a heart surgeon is because I want to serve a fundamental role in society to save peoples lives and let them live a long life. Upon reflection, the main reason being a heart surgeon would not be a good career for me is because I would not be able to save everybody’s life. Another reason why this would not be a good career for me is one day I would like to have a family and the long irregular hours would keep me from being at home.

Biological Scientists

By: Cirenia Trujillo

     Biological scientist study live objects.  They research issues dealing with the objects.  Biological scientists also study animals.  Most biological scientists so research and develop.  Most biological scientists work in different positions.

 

     Most biological scientists work in offices or laboratories on regular hours.  Biological scientists mostly take fieldtrips to see what else they see and can research.  Marine biologists for example encounter several working conditions.

 

     You usually need a PhD to be biological scientists.  A master’s degree is also as well to be biological scientists.  Some biological scientists with PhD mostly take postdoctoral research positions.

 

     About 50 percent of biological scientists are payee between $41,000 and $74,260.  In addition, about ten percent earn $32,630.  In addition, another ten percent earns $101,720.  In addition, some earn less than $31,450.

 

     Many other occupations deal with different objects and require more training, for example Medical scientists, Conservation scientists, Foresters, Agricultural, and Food scientists.

 

     I think it is a good job for me because I like to work with animals and other sources.  In addition, because biological scientists do different experiments and look for different discoveries.  I would also like to be biological scientists because I think it is interesting.

Fashion Designer

 

Fashion designing would be a good career for me because I have all the requirements and I can get the two to four years of education at a designing school. I know how to sketch and sew. I have a great communication with people and also problem skill. And I also seen a lot of great design and I know how to design my own clothing.

Being a fashion designer requires the employer need at least 2 to 4 years of study in designing. They need to know about textile, fabric, ornamentation and fashion trend. Employer need to have excellent communication skill and problem-solving skill. Designers also need sketching skill and they need to know how to sew and have pattern-making skill. Employers need a portfolio of some design and know about the top designers.

 A fashion designer salary was about $55,840 in May 2004, now the middles percent earns $38,880, the lower percent earns around $27,970 and the higher 10 percent earns over $112,840. Designer’s salary is based on based on the industry that the designers are in or how well the designer’s designs are and it is also based on the education the designer has. Designers do not have vacation. Designers must schedule their own vacation if wanted and sometimes on a business trip the designer will travel the world and will have break on the country or state that they are in.

The positive aspect of being a fashion designer is that you can make a lot of money then the minimum salary based on the education and how well your designs are. Also being a self-employed designer makes more money than any designer that is in an industry. The negative aspects of being a designer are that if you do not have enough of the education and your product does not sell well then you will not be paid will and being a self employed designer mean that you will have to provide your own benefit and retirement money.

Physician and Surgeon

When I grow up I want to be a surgeon. A surgeon is a physician who specializes in treating people with some sort of injury or some kind of disease by doing an operation. Surgeons use different types of medical equipments. Also, a surgeon fixes any physical deformation, any type of broken bone and tissue after an injury. There are different types of surgeons. There are surgeons who specialize in orthopedic surgery, neurological surgery, cardiovascular surgery, otolaryngology and plastic or reconstructive surgery. Surgeons examine patients, perform diagnostic test and teach patients on health care. Surgeons and physicians get many benefits such as medical benefits; they also get to wake up everyday knowing that they save lives everyday. They would know that they are important to their community and that they have done something with their lives. Although there are many benefits and positive reasons to become a physician, there is also a down side. For example, you would work long hours and might be called back to work when you are sleeping. This is bad if you go to sleep early and is tired during the day. There’s no room whatsoever for errors during an operation and if you mess up during a surgery and kill someone, you would feel bad and think about bad things. The worst thing is that you could be sued by the family and you could lose your license as a doctor and won’t be able to treat patients anymore.

How long does it take to go to college to be a doctor? It’s a lot of hard work and schooling involved in becoming a physician and a Surgeon. You must have formal education and training requirements. Those requirements are 4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years internship and residency; this is depended on the specialty selected. Pre medical students must finish undergraduate work in physics, biology, mathematics, English, and inorganic and organic chemistry. Some students choose to take courses in the humanities and social science. Others choose to get experience by volunteering at a local hospital. For a student to get into a medical school, they require to have at least a minimum amount of 3 years of college. Students spend most of their first 2 years in laboratories and classrooms such as anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, psychology, microbiology, pathology, medical ethics and laws governing medicine. For their last 2 years the students work with patients but they are supervised by an experienced physician. One important thing is that a physician must have the desire to help a patient, even if the physician has a conflict with this patient. You must be motivated and must be able to work for long hours.

When you are a physician/surgeon, you work long and exhausting hours, but it all pays off because you get paid a huge salary. A Surgeon that does basic surgery makes about $282,504. Not all doctors make the same salary, it depends on what they do. For example one surgeon makes $282,504, but a Physician who works and practices with their family makes $156,010 (That’s a big difference).

I think the job of being a physician/Surgeon would be a good career for me because I have always been interested on how the body works and have been studying on it. I have dissected a pig’s heart and it did not freak me out. I was calm and followed the procedures as asked. I also think it is a career for me because I like to have the feeling that I have done something important with my life and I have saved other people’s lives. I can also serve a patient even if we have a background of conflict.

Although it is rewarding to be a physician, it takes very hard work and dedication to working long hours to be one. That’s the down side. I might not be able to do my job very well if I am sleepy half of the time because I am tired. Also, it is very expensive to get to medical school. If my parents can’t afford to send me to college, then I will have to work extra hard to hopefully be able to get some kind of scholarship or maybe borrow money, like a student loan, to be able to attend school.

In summary, being a doctor is a very rewarding career because I would get paid an excellent salary, go to work doing something I love to do (saving lives) and have health benefits. I can also make my family proud because I will be the first doctor in the family and when ever someone in my family get sick, they don’t have to worry because I can treat them! I wish I could be smart enough and one day become a doctor. Isaac

Veterinarians

 

Veterinarians have an important task in the healthcare of pets and livestock. They prevent, diagnose diseases and disorders in animals and inform owners on the feeding, hygiene, bedding and general care of animals. Veterinarians also supply dental and obstetrical services, treat sick animals, take physical examinations or laboratory tests, and provide euthanasia services.

Most veterinarians practice in animal clinics or hospitals and care for companion animals, such as dogs and cats. Many veterinarians take jobs that involve small animals instead of large animals. Pet owners are agreeable to pay for concentrated veterinary care and sometimes even insurance.

Future veterinarians are required to graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree from a four-year course at a qualified college of veterinary medicine. Some colleges set intense reflection on a candidate’s animal knowledge. Many states require candidates to pass a State jurisprudence exam covering State regulations. Recently trained veterinarians can become disease-control workers, animal well being, or research assistants.

The medium salaries of veterinarians are $66,590 each year. The lowest earnings that they make are less than $39,020 per year, and the highest income earned is more than $118,430 annually. Veterinarians that work with small animals make about $50,878 a year. The vet’s that work with large animals earn $50,403 for each year. Veterinarians that work in private clinics are paid $49,635. Many veterinarians work with mixed animals and make about $47,704. Some employ in working with horses and are paid $38,628. The average annual salaries for veterinarians are $78,769.

There are a lot of benefits and positive aspects of being a Veterinarian, they are taught about medication and how to conduct surgeries. Veterinarians are also skilled in the dentistry areas of animals. The negative aspects are that they work long hours and are almost never home. They have to take many classes in college and take a State jurisprudence examination. This would be a great career for me because I want to learn about internal medicine, which they specialize in.

                There is a lot of bad thing about this job but then again there a lot of good thing about this job. Like one bad thing is that many physicians and surgeries work long, irregular hours .And over one third of full time physicians wok 60 hours or more a week. There are good sides like you get a lot of money and that you get a feeling at the end of the day that you did some thing and that you help another child.  And only 8 percent of all physicians and surgeons work part time.

                This would be a care for me because I love kids and I love to help kids. I know that it going to take me a log time but I think it worth it. I always had to go to the hospital and I love the way that people treated me. And I want to be that person that gets to feel like a hero and that I know I can do some thing and this is why I want to be a pediatrician.            Bianca

Questions for Professions

By Michael L and the Cultural Exchange Team

IDS, Tampa, Florida – April 2007

Realtor

1. On average, how many houses do you show people before they decide to buy a house?

“It all depends upon the buyer. An average for us has been six.” Dan and Debra Milchner, Sanders Realty, Tampa, Florida.

Another realtor’s experience varies much more. Depending upon how well the buyer is qualified and how serious the buyer is, determines how many houses are shown. A realtor can ask questions to determine if the “buyer” is just looking around or is really ready to buy – and then decide whether to help that person or refer them to somebody else so they can use their time with prospects ready to make a purchase.

2. After your clients send an offer to the seller does the seller usually accept the offer, make a counter offer, or reject the offer and if they propose a counter offer how long does it usually take to agree on a price and other terms?

Typically it goes back and forth several times before a final offer is made and accepted. This normally can take place within about three days. For commercial property it can take six or eight months.

3. Do you find it more difficult to sell houses now then several years ago due to the down market?

According to information from one realtor interviewed, about a year ago in Tampa, there were 1.25 houses for sale for every buyer. Today there are about 18 houses for sale for every buyer. It used to be that a house might only be on the market 6 days. Now the buyers have more power and if someone doesn’t accept their price, they can just move on to another property.

Realtors deal with this differently. The laws have recently changed so loans will be more difficult to get and appraisers and mortgage brokers will be held more accountable to help minimize loan defaults. One realtor said they have been brainstorming how to respond to the change in the market and have spoken with friends of theirs in the business. They have about 18 houses listed and are now going to focus more on the buyers since it is such a buyers market.

Large store chain

1. Do you have an estimate of how many people work in one of your large stores?

A manager from Publix, which is a grocery store chain in Florida, said that in the smaller stores there are 150-200 people and in the larger stores it can be 300 people.

2. What kind of challenges do you face in running a large business?

Customer service is one thing that is very important. If your store does well, it will retain customers and have good relationships with customers. Also, knowing what the customer wants and developing new services that will meet the needs of the local community are vital.

Another thing that is important is that business is always changing and moving. If you want to try something new or do something you just have to jump in and do it. To wait for the perfect time, you lose the opportunity. You have to be good at change and good at responding to change.

3. What is the international reach of your business?

Some retail chains, like Publix, has had visitors from Asian countries visit their plant in Florida and have even possibly sent people overseas to learn from others.

Suppliers come from all over the world, so making sure that you understand the time differences, the culture, the needs, etc. are important in developing a world wide team and approach. Some retail chains, like WalMart, are in many countries.
